Round Like An Apple
Round like an apple, deep like a cup,
yet all the king’s horses cannot pull it up.
A well.
A Precious Thing to Most
A precious thing to most,
In order to take it,
You must already have it.

Life.

I Have Four Pairs of Letters
I have four pairs of letters,
Leaving two to stand alone.
You’re often doing the opposite,
When playing on your phone.
I help you get things done,
With one big caveat,
If taken to extremes,
I could make you fat.
What am I?
Efficiency. Being efficient helps you get things done, but if you’re extremely efficient with your tasks you get less exercise.
Comes To Bedsides, Icy Bridges
He comes to bedsides, icy bridges,
battlefronts, and crumbling ridges.
When he comes, he comes alone,
taps a shoulder, then is gone.
Death.
